A Shocking Winter...ZAP!!

Does your sheepie shock you whenever they go to lick you or when you are petting them? No lie, Mags and I have made that electrical connection THROUGH her thick coat! When I really feel bad is when she tries to give me a wet-one and we get zapped and she shakes her head, tries it again, and ZAP!

I get it when it happens every once and awhile, but it's ALL THE TIME! We even have a humidifier! Our house is really old, so next year, we are thinking that we will have to get one that makes our house a swamp in the winter!

Funny you brought that up, my hair will stand on end and I get all sorts of sparks. But not on Snowy. Go figure.
It's the dry air. We have a humidifier too, but it isn't really big enough for our whole house. On day's I'm home, I put a stock pot on the cooktop and boil a couple of pots of water. I can get about 7 qts in the air in 3 hours or so. I do a pot in the evening too.

At school, where we have no humidty, I touch the kid's fingertip (like ET) before touching their ears or neck.
